The school opened its doors in 2014 as part of the Dulwich College International family of schools, which draw inspiration from their sister school, Dulwich College in London, established in 1619. The school was founded to provide an engaging learning environment, linking a rich heritage and international perspective with modern educational practices.
The school hosts a variety of community and cultural events, such as international fairs and cultural celebration days, which allow families to share their diverse backgrounds and traditions. These events provide opportunities for students and parents to connect, learn, and celebrate the global and multicultural nature of the school.
The school's PTA is known as the Friends of Dulwich (FoD). All parents are automatically members of the FoD and are encouraged to actively participate in various roles, such as serving on the FoD Committee, acting as Class Parent Representatives, engaging in social activities, or volunteering for numerous charitable events. The FoD organizes a range of events throughout the year, including cultural celebrations and family fun days. Regular coffee mornings provide platforms for new parents to connect and share experiences, while interest groups and workshops cater to varied interests, from cooking classes to book clubs. Additionally, the FoD supports charitable initiatives, promoting a spirit of giving back within the school community. Participation in the FoD offers parents the opportunity to engage in their children's education and build connections with other families.
Dulwich College Singapore caters for children aged 2 to 18, and follows the British curriculum system. The school prepares students for IGCSE exams in Key Stage 4 and the IB Diploma Programme in the final two years. Facilities include modern science labs, art and design spaces, a swimming pool, and a large theatre for performing arts. A unique aspect of the school is its approach to sustainability, evidenced by the recent opening 'The Greenhouse' - the first international school building in Singapore to be certified Green Mark Platinum Zero Energy. Students have access to a broad range of activities outside of the classroom, including competitive sports teams and music ensembles, drama productions and exchange opportunities with other Dulwich schools worldwide.
